Gigs of The Week, 22 February

Welcome to our weekly round-up of shows happening in the grand concert halls, dimly lit basements, airy cafe’s and grimy sweatboxes across the UK and Ireland. All acts featured come with the Best Fit ‘Seal Of Approval’ so you can be assured that your hard earned cash will be well spent. To tempt your wallets this week we’ve gathered dates from the likes of Faye, James Blake and Sky Ferreira.

Faye, Sportsman and NONONO@ The Roundhouse, London 22/02

James Blake @ The ICA, London 26/02

He’s back. Everyone’s favourite blubstep star, only he’s less blubstep more R&B on his new, bassier, slicker song ‘Retrograde.’ So for a glimpse of what else a more grown up James Blake may have been cooking up the ICA is the place to be.

SOLD OUT. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more James Blake shows.

Sky Ferreira @ XOYO, London 27/02

Shimmering pop gems with just a hint of forlorn love loss. What more could you want?!
